Firefox-Hilfeforum

My bookmarks have vanished. This problem began when I had iTunes and Firefox open. My iTunes songs were "skipping," which had never happened before. I closed Firefox and iTunes, and I ran my Piriform CCleaner program to clear out temporary files, which I do regularly.

I ended up updating iTunes to make it work, but not before my bookmarks disappeared with the message on my browser: "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem."

Worse, Firefox won't allow me to add new bookmarks.

I followed all topics in support and nothing has changed this problem. I've restarted and shut down the computer. I ran a full-system security scan. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

Please help!

I noticed a simple non encrypted web site is not viewable. "http://www.flightofthephantom.com/what-is-an-imu" I tested using Safari and I was able to view the site on my Mac OS.

I also performed a "refresh Firefox" option in firefox and disabled my add-on but it still doesn't view the site just a black screen appears. Any ideas?

Hello,

Firefox 59.02 is not exporting my bookmarks to html even after a clean install removing everything via uninstalling and then removing any leftover Mozilla folders, etc)

.json is working fine in both exporting and restoring.

Other people I have read are having this issue.

Look forward to your help and reply.

I have different bookmarks sets on my two PCs, one correct (A), the other full of holes and missing files (B). In addition despite being told in the user interface that the PCs synced an hour ago, they haven't.

I try to follow https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sync-your-firefox-bookmarks-history-passwords-and-#w_step-1-unlink-all-of-your-devices-from-the-old-sync but fall down at the first hurdle:

"Click the menu button Fx57Menu and choose Options. Select the Sync panel. "

But I don't see a Sync panel.

Similarly there are frequent instructions such as:

"On a computer:

   Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Sign in to Sync and follow the instructions to create your account. "

There is no Sign in to Sync on my computer, despite my having logged in to Firefox Sync and being told that my PCs are syncing.

Odd.

Anyway, assuming that someone can point me in the right direction on this puzzling connundrum, I still have the problem of two very different bookmarks sets, A and B. I don't want B to pollute A, in fact I would like A to overwrite B. How to ensure that happens?

Hi : )

I love Firefox, and I find it simply excellent. But...

in the last months Im having lots of FREQUENT crashes. I dont know why.

it often crashes (even 20-30 times a day), mostly with an empty page (#argh this page was closed), sometimes the program closes by itself, I restart it, it goes for some minutes or even less, and the the problems are back again.

I tried many solutions: I reinstalled it, I tried the safe modus (it crashes thesame way), disinstalled all the plug ins. disintalled the firefox accelerator. tried windows10 compatibility solutions, I created a new profile. i have the latest version, of course.

I have these issues ONLY with firefox. maybe is the 64 bits version? my laptop is 2 year old.

it does not get any better with the above solutions.

below the copy of a mozilla crash report (there are many I just picked one)

could you please help? what can i Do?

thanks a lot merlino

I cant focus on password fields on some sites.

i opened Firefox with safe mode, it works as it should, i can type anything on anywhere. No problem appears.

But still i cant type on Firefox that started normally.

What is the problem here? How can i solve it? Should i open Firefox with safemode everytime?

Ubuntu 18, Firefox 59.0.2 (64-bit)

EVERYTIME I open up Mozilla FireFox, my Norton Security Software pops up with a dialog box that says, it has blocked "Web Attack: Fake Tech Support Website 62". This has been going on for about a 3 days now. Is there anything you can do to your FireWall and Other Security Software from allowing this Virus from trying to attack Mozilla FireFox? Please advise.

https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/p/pod/dod-idx/lying-and-deception.pdf?c=phimp;idno=3521354.0010.011;format=pdf Edge works. I don't use Adobe Acrobat. New problem that's popped up for no apparent reason.

but m.facebook runs smoothly and sound. and all other sites works normally. I have already removed all the cache and history and still no solutions.

Note: i have only two add ons enabled (idm and add block)

When ever I try to sign into Youtube or Gmail which in linked to my Youtube account, I enter my e-mail click next and nothing happens. The next button just blinks to acknowledge I've clicked it but nothing else happens, Gmail does the same. It works fine with IE and Chrome but Firefox is my main browser.

LinkedIn has a similar problem, whe I try to sign in I just get the little back and fouth signing in bar constantly. Once again it works fine with IE and Chrome. I've tried disabling all my add-ons and clearing cookies but nothing.

It's really annoying having to open separate browsers for Youtube and LinkedIn

Anyone else experince this?

For years firefox has just periodically broken. By this I mean that random sites and features just die and never come back until I delete firefox and reinstall. This is always frustrating because I can open chrome right up and copy/paste the url and it will work fine EVERY TIME. Now, I have always put int he effort to fix it because I like firefox more than chrome and I'm used to it and I dont want to get used to a different browser. That being said I'm done messing around with these issues.

The current one is regarding adobe flash, a truly crap program through and through. I am trying to use the webcam feature on google hangouts, but whenever I try it says I need to update to flash 10.1 or greater and that I should go get that. Well one problem, I have it.

Your Flash Version 29.0.0.113 Your browser name Firefox (NPAPI) Your Operating System (OS) Windows (Window 10)

I have installed the current version of flash so many times. I've restarted the browser, I've rebooted the computer, nothing helps. I'm so sick of firefox just randomly breaking every time it pushes an update. If there isnt a simple fix for this issue I think I'm going to move to chrome from now on.

I am using Firefox 59.0.2 64bit. My default search engine is set to Google. When I try to do a search using either the address bar or the search bar I am always directed to Yahoo search. The default search engine does not change but I am always redirected to Yahoo. I do not have Spigot or YahooSearch on my Computer. There is nothing suspicious in my add-ons. I have removed everything from my computer that had Yahoo in it. I have run several malware programs. There is nothing unusual in the programs listed using the control panel or task manager. I have updated Windows. I am still redirected to Yahoo. Again it does not change my default search engine, but redirects it every time.

I know the preferred search engine of Firefox is Yahoo, but is not mine. If this is Firefox's way to force us to use yahoo it will be bye-bye Firefox and hello Chrome.

I was playing a game, and had to shut down Firefox to prevent slowdown- I have an older laptop, sue me. when I started firefox back up it installed an update- no problem.

but when it finished installing, it wasn't firefox, but firefox quantum, a different program entirely that deleted all my display preferences! the tabs are in the wrong spot, the search engines are a grid of icons instead of a list of names like they're SUPPOSED TO BE, it's only showing miniatureized icons instead of icons and text, there's no status bar at the bottom, it DELETED THE TABS FROM MY PREVIOUS SESSION and several of my addons (including the Classic Themes Restorer that fixes the severe UGLINESS of every new version,) is no longer compatible!

how do I correct this mistake by going back to the old version and protecting my laptop from this horrid quantum garbage?

Ever since the new update(s) my FF gets laggy from time to time (scroll wise). It's like my FPS drops when trying to scroll through the pages. It happens randomly. The only way to get it back to normal is to minimize the browser and maximize again. What's going on? This is a really annoying problem, and I don't want to switch to Chrome or something since I've been with FF for over a decade.

My firefox is crashing since yesterday. First it was when opening Mailgun, now is when I open Facebook. These pages are unaccesable, they load the whole page then crash. I don't have any extension and even started Firefox in secure mode but it keeps crashing. UUID: 775e4533-64fe-42af-81f6-ea00f0180404
